Local Cigar Shop Portrait

[rebeljohn]

Last night, our local tobacco shop(Tobacconists of Raleigh) held an unveiling of a new paiting that would be the centerpiece of the wall in the lounge area. We had a ton of food, drink and cigars to celebrate the occasion. Local artist Keith Thomas(back row, far right) painted the portrait of 17 of the regulars that patronize the cigar shop. The portrait now hangs permanently in the shop. This represents just a fraction of our 'cigar family' at Tobacconists of Raleigh. If you are ever in the area, make sure you stop in and say hello..........My wife and I are featured in the paiting(I am sitting, second from right, and my wife is the brunette behing me). A close up of the portrait can be found here:

Now that is a cigar family. What a great idea. My sis lives in Garner and every time we visit I am banned to the back porch to enjoy my cigars. I will certainly have to look up the B&M. Do they have a website or could you give me an address?
